The Steampunk is neither a popular nor well known in interior design. That could be because of a lack of familiarity with the concept or the sense of heaviness associated with the theme.
Referencing Victoriana, sci-fi, anime, punk and an innate desire to understand how the world works from the inside out, is Steampunk. Tangibly, the subculture is a mixture of Victorian elegance, paired with the masculinity of industrial elements.
For Singaporeans who love an edgy look without losing elegance, steampunk could be what you’re looking for.
Here are our top 9 tips on how to Steampunk your home.
1) Add an industrial touch with exposed bricks or if not with wallpaper
2) Decorate with old maps
3) Expose leather furnitures or items
4) Buy a terrestrial globe
5) Decorate with gears. Steampunk pays homage to the many inventions and discoveries during the Victorian era. These gear wall clocks are a great nod to the past!
6) Use an old steamer trunk as a living room table
7) Don’t forget about small wood jewelry boxes
8) Display antique items like barometers, telescopes or typewriters
9) Decorate with sepia photographs/pictures for that old school look
